WATCH: Rep. Kirkpatrick On House Floor Calling For U.S. Hearings In Arizona Re: Mexican Wolf Endangered Species Status and Re-Introduction

Arizona Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-CD1) took to the House floor today to call on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ("FWS") to hold hearings in Arizona regarding the Mexican (Gray) Wolf's listing on the endangered species list and its re-introduction program.

Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM) has already spoken out against the proposal; although Kirkpatrick did not follow suit, her one-minute speech was to push for her rural constituents to be able to better make their voices heard.

The public comment period - if an Arizona hearing is not set or if you are unable to attend a hearing - has been extended and runs through October 28.We welcome your comments about this post.
